Hi to all Corsa Sport members. I've been following modifying the last 4 years now and have decided to get into the modiying scene myself.

I'am looking to get myself a Corsa, preferably 1.0.. 1.1 or 1.2 litre'd engines to keep the dreaded insurance down. So if you've got one 4 sale hit me back with some pics and a price. (one thats not already modified)

Anyway just poppin up to say Hi...

Just so you know you won't get a 1.1
Also don't get an 8v get a 12 or 16v

hi, welcome aboard!

better check the classified section for a car... there are a couple of small engined corsas! a 1.4 won't increase insurance by much and u'd have a decent ride!

enjoy it mate

hello there. good luck finding a car. stay away from the 1.2 8v and 1.0 12v if you can. try and stretch for the 1.2 16v.

Or if you do get one of those personally I'd choose the 1.0 12v over the 1.2 8v
